Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2022 Dec;56(6):323-327. doi: 10.1007/s13139-022-00775-1. Epub 2022 Oct 1.ABSTRACTNeuroendocrine tumors (NETs) originate from the neuroendocrine cells, which are found in various organs. NETs occur frequently in the gastrointestinal tract. NETs arising from tailgut cysts are uncommon.
